No Planet B – Travel with B
No Planet B – Travel with B is a women-founded, values-driven enterprise operating in the tourism and travel sector, with a strong focus on social and environmental sustainability. A core element of our mission is the economic, professional and personal empowerment of women, particularly in communities and destinations where women’s sovereignty, visibility and opportunities are limited.
Two of the company’s founders are mothers of multiple children, therefore a lived, experience-based understanding of caregiving responsibilities, work–life balance challenges and structural inequalities is an integral part of how we operate.
We are committed to gender equality, inclusivity, and non-discriminatory practices based on gender and sexual identity, both within our internal operations and across our travels, partnerships and local collaborations. No Planet B – Travel with B undertakes to build a business structure that actively supports gender equality and to foster an operational culture free from violence, stereotypes and exclusion.
In Hungary, gender equality continues to face significant structural challenges. The gender pay gap is among the highest in the European Union: women earn on average nearly 18% less than men, compared to an EU average of approximately 13%. Women’s participation in the labour market is also lower, largely due to the unequal distribution of caregiving responsibilities and traditional labour market roles.
Disparities are even more pronounced in decision-making and leadership: women represent only 11% of board members in Hungary’s largest companies, while women’s representation in parliament stands at just 14.1%, placing Hungary among the lowest-ranking EU countries. Women account for only 30.7% of professionals in engineering and research fields, again one of the lowest rates within the EU. According to the EIGE Gender Equality Index, Hungary scored 57.3 out of 100 in 2023, below the EU average, ranking particularly low in the “power” domain, where it has remained among the weakest performers since 2020.
These inequalities are further reinforced by the disproportionate burden women carry in everyday life: women devote 17.3% of their time to unpaid care and household work, compared to 8.1% for men, significantly limiting their professional and economic opportunities.
These structural disparities clearly demonstrate that women’s empowerment is not merely a matter of values, but a critical area of social and economic intervention. Accordingly, No Planet B – Travel with B has embedded this commitment into its business model: each journey includes a per-participant donation, incorporated into the travel price, supporting women-led organisations both in Hungary and in the destination country. Through this approach, we ensure that our travels generate tangible and measurable positive social impact on the lives of women at both local and international levels.
In its operations and partnerships, No Planet B – Travel with B ensures that:
This principle also extends to our cooperation with local partners: during our travels, we do not negotiate prices; all partners receive fair, pre-agreed compensation, through direct collaboration without intermediaries.
